These Add-Ons Beef Up Your Note 8

Samsung wants to sell you a lot more than just a smartphone with the Galaxy Note 8. The company sees its latest powerhouse of a phone as the proverbial one device to truly rule them all. Not only is the Note 8 huge, with a whopping 6.3-inch screen and that handy S-Pen, but it can also transform into a desktop PC and virtual reality headset. A phone like this begs for some extra gear to go along with it.

As solid as the Note 8 is out of the box, with the right extras, it can be an even more powerful companion. Here's our look at some accessories that let you do more with your Note 8. And if you're looking for a case, we've got you covered there, too, with the 10 top cases for Samsung's new phone.

Samsung DeX Station

At the heart of Samsung's vision to make the Note 8 the centerpiece of your mobile life is the DeX Station. It transforms your phone into a full-blown desktop PC. We found it to be a work in progress when we tested it with the Galaxy S8 earlier this year, but the DeX is an intriguing concept if you're after a lightweight computing experience that lives on the edge.

Samsung wireless charger convertible

Wireless charging pads might seem superfluous — you really can't find a plug or port to charge up your phone? — but once you have one of these pads, it's difficult to understand how you lived without it. For some style to go with your choice, check out the Samsung wireless charger convertible. It has a space-age look that allows you to set your Note 8 down and let it soak up the juice.

Note 8 Edition Gear VR with controller

That big, beautiful phone can put out some serious virtual reality power. So an ideal companion is the Gear VR with controller, a new model of Samsung's VR headset built to coincide with the launch of the Galaxy Note 8. A physical controller really elevates the experience, giving you the ability to blast aliens, explore the universe or maybe just chill out on a virtual beach.

Samsung 5100-mAh battery pack

No matter how diligent you are about charging your phone, there are bound to be moments when you're low and surviving on fumes, even with the Note 8 lasting longer than 11 hours on our battery test. Samsung's 5100-mAh battery pack will be a great companion to help you out in such situations. The company pledges that the pack will fully recharge your phone for two cycles without the need to plug the battery pack in again.

Mujjo Touchscreen Gloves

Gloves and touch screens typically don't mix, but Mujjo's lineup of Touchscreen Gloves is an exception. Mujjo's gloves keep your hands warm while also letting your fingers stay active as they tap, scroll and pinch-and-zoom their way across the Note 8's Infinity Display. Prices start at $29 for the single-layered gloves, with leather gloves available for $97.

256GB Evo+ microSD card

When you have a phone that is loaded with RAM, has a massive screen and comes with a ton of software, you may one day decide you want to download half the internet. The Note 8 gives you some onboard storage — 64GB of it, to be exact — but if you need even more, try Samsung's 256GB Ev0+ microSD card. Slap this into the Note 8's microSD card slot, and you won't likely ever have to worry about storage again.
